monday fantasies

if money were not an issue, i would be working at some quirky neighborhood coffeeshop or in an international airport (a regional hub preferably. cannot be in manila).  such warmth, vibrance and energy in these places, don't you think so?

the frenzy of the comings and goings of the travelers in the airport excites me.  i think it's hard to get bored there, especially if you enjoy people watching. if it's in frankfurt airport, i'd be riding a bike inside its wide halls like its workers do, spotting kababayans and engaging them in chit chats while they wait for their flights.

btw, i have decided i really like our village simply because 
i get to see up close everyday on my way to work 
the airplanes on the runway,  ready to take off. 
i always think about the people inside those planes.  
are they excited about going away or going home? 
coz i would be. 

coffee. its aroma never fails to transport me to a beautiful place, even if i'm smack in the middle of harrison plaza (which is not the kind of place you want to preserve, even if it's the first mall in the country, trust me.).

hmmm...
why not run my own coffeeshop?  i'll call it "brew ha" LOL.
maybe "Kina Joe at Frankie" KJF.
 ang bagong hangout ng mga taxi drivers & minimum wage earners.
walang ingles2x. tagalog or bisaya 'pag nag-take ng order.

Or, or, and/or, sell artisan chocolates.  premium dark only, 70% up.  
what's the brand name going to be?  "ellen's"!  
(zak, that won't sell, i'm telling you.)  
wait, i think i'm going to call it "Lily".  
but if you get to build your own brand of chocolate someday son, 
you can name it after me :)

bliss. ain't it bliss.

  1. ako sad ate... gusto ko magtrabajo sa airport or sa cafe. got my feet wet at a cafe but i have yet to tackle an airport. during hs though, i decided to sleep at los angeles airport with hs mates for no good reason except maybe wanderlust. the difference between "wanting" to do something and "needing" to do something usually leaves us in the precarious position of decision making.
